Beflex Launches 'StrideCoach' Running App with AirPods AI Form Analysis

Health-tech startup Bflex has finally unveiled its AI-based coaching app ‘StrideCoach,’ set to change the paradigm of running. Now, with just an AirPods, you can experience a sophisticated running experience as if a dedicated coach is running right beside you. The core of StrideCoach is ‘simplicity and accuracy.’ By simply wearing AirPods without any additional equipment, it analyzes your running form in real-time and provides instant corrective feedback via voice. Bflex’s patented BiomechEngine AI algorithm precisely analyzes 8 key metrics such as cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, landing impact, head angle, and left-right balance down to milliseconds. If a posture issue is detected while running, audio coaching provides real-time solutions to reduce the risk of injury and maximize running efficiency. It automatically generates personalized training plans suitable for all levels, from beginner runners to experienced individuals dreaming of completing a marathon, and even runners recovering from injuries. From improving basic fitness to competition preparation and rehabilitation monitoring, you can receive coaching that perfectly aligns with your goals. Furthermore, various voice-guided contents such as ‘Mindful Running’ and morning/evening themed runs further enhance the enjoyment and effectiveness of running. StrideCoach prioritizes the protection of user personal information. After downloading the app, all features can be used immediately without creating an account, and your valuable running data is stored only on your phone and not transmitted externally. It is designed to strictly comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), allowing you to focus solely on your running with peace of mind. A Bflex representative stated, “StrideCoach aims to help all runners enjoy running smartly and safely by providing expert-level running form analysis and coaching at a reasonable price, using only AirPods, the most familiar device.” Now, experience healthier and more efficient running with StrideCoach!
